Could be interesting in countries where interpreters of an old holy text have a significant influence on government policy and usually say that Deity would not approve of such technology.
Although their assets are rather tied up in inventory. Which does admittedly have a resale value but there will be other laws governing who would make an acceptable buyer. I don't think it's a long list.
$600 million? Maybe they're set on 425 cruise missiles as settlement?
Probably don't have to steal them. I reckon gloves must be among the most misplaced or lost items in places where winter is cold enough to require wearing them. Of course finding gloves with attached fingerprint sticker doesn't help link them to an owner and a device to unlock, but it does give you a fingerprint to leave around somewhere to say, mess up a crime scene investigation. Has a cast-iron alibi ever been overturned in court because of fingerprint evidence?
A Commons vote will pass. The SNP would vote against and Sinn Fein might turn up at Westminster for the first time ever to vote against but that's only about 55 votes, a tad short of the 325 a full turnout requires. Someone did an analysis immediately after the referendum on how MPs would be required to vote to reflect their constituents choice in the event that Parliament had to ratify the referendum. Some approximation was required since the referendum count was not by Westminster constituency, but their conclusion was about 430 MPs (I can't remember exactly but it was more than 100 votes past majority) would have to support a Commons vote on leaving the EU. In order to reverse that more than 100 England and Wales MPs would have to go against their constituents. Not going to happen. And that's assuming a free vote. The Conservatives have a working majority so May just has to declare a 3-line whip. Job done. Sure, there will be a handful of Conservatives that might defy a 3-line whip but they will be outnumbered by UKIP MPs who would definitely support the motion and it's not as if Labour would be unified against it because some of their MPs support Brexit.
However, their problem might be the Lords. They might come to regret declining the LibDem request to abolish the Lords when they were in coalition.
I have a suspicion that the Tesco Bank staff might be working a bit longer at the moment. I pass their Edinburgh office on the way home from work,I wonder if there will be more lights on than usual this evening.
And not just them. I think it's a result of some de-regulation act. On the shop retail front, Marks and Spencer have a bank as do the Cooperative. I don't think Asda operate a bank as such but they do offer financial services and probably have an ambition to be a proper bank since others are doing it. I wouldn't be surprised to find Sainsbury offering financial services too. Virgin Money is pretty much a bank from a record label although Branson admittedly branched out into a host of different markets before Virgin also went into finance.
Actually, I don't think it will. If they find that their purchased influence over governments is not enough to ensure that national armies are at their beck and call then they will establish private armies. You wouldn't need a huge army but a sufficiently well equipped and well trained platoon sized outfit would probably meet most needs. The elites could pay trained military staff far more than they ever got when the served for a national army; spreading their wealth just enough and no more to ensure self-preservation.
Depends on how loose your definition of "active" is. The wikipedia page says this of Steam, "The service has over 125 million registered accounts. Steam has had as many as 12.5 million concurrent users as of November 2015."
For this audience "The message was only 16 bits long" would have been sufficient, I can see why the editors' summarizing skills are so frequently ridiculed.
However that means the message is only 2 one-byte characters. I don't think the machines will concoct a plan to eliminate all humans in 2 bytes.
When will they explain to the AI (I know it's not really) that it can go to prison for not relinquishing encryption keys, and then show it some bleak prison dramas so that it can know what to expect...
And that people, is why SkyNet launched the nukes.
Don't worry. Presumably the journal of the Association for Psychological Science is not owned by a rich person but you can rest assured that the media that the rich people do own that is consumed by hundreds of millions won't mention this and continue to state that being disabled, an immigrant, whatever is being scapegoated in the geographical location, is bad.
There's a new category in the modern age as well; those who contract a virus for which there is a vaccination but were not vaccinated because their parents thought it was better not to. They are blameless (because, parents) but could inadvertently cause serious issues in those that could not be vaccinated for medical reasons.
It's surprising what people will do in the name of "patriotism". And even now, other nuclear powers will have looked at this and immediately instigated a program to design and build an equivalent which will involve their some of their own populace who will be happy to participate.
And there's many countries who do not have nuclear weapons but want them and undoubtedly have many citizens that would enthusiastically work toward that goal.
Rather than being "inhuman", it seems to be very human to develop these weapons. It's really only a matter of time before they are used again.
You fail to understand Brexiter logic. By suggesting that it is not unquestionably and undeniably certain that the UK will be the best country in the world for leaving the EU you have outed yourself as a remainer. For them, saying "nobody can know what will happen" == "worst doom and gloom prediction".
What are the "if you don't work, you don't eat" crowd going to do about this?
Nothing. I expect that they are all confident they posses superior genes and even in the event of this actually being implemented, they would be unaffected.
I'm sure it's a tactic that has been used in other fields although I can't name a specific example. You change a definition of something so it's not the same as the meaning anyone else would use and apply some convoluted logic so that the altered definition applies to your product\brand... actually it's probably politicians that do that.
more than ten thousand dollars in debt at any given time.
I used to look at figures like that and think it wasn't really that much. Now as Sterling plummets further I realize it's starting to become a significant amount. After Theresa May invokes Article 50 it'll probably equate to £50,000 Sterling.
I don't see the carriers as likely to give up easy money
Well they have to milk the rest of the world for as much as they can get away with since pesky EU legislation prevents them from milking EU countries for as much as they'd like to.

You seem to be unaware that NHS = National Health Service, so it's not a company but a government organisation.
They're sniffing around Apple as well, over dubious tax deals with Ireland.
just like I did 8 years ago. (And I didn't even vote for Obama.)
So why not 4 years ago? I'm pretty sure I remember people being as vocally upset over Obama's 2nd term as they were for the first.
Also, you never seem to vote for the winner, so if you are eligible and do vote, don't you ever feel disenfranchised?

Ok, that increases the number of potential locations for the mother's apartment that I had considered.
customer's cards were used fraudulently mainly in China and USA while customers were in India
This makes a change. I'm more used to seeing news articles about people's cards being used fraudulently in India while the card owner is in the UK.

Is this just paving the way toward scientific justification for nepotism? No tests needed for some, obviously, that's just for the ordinary folks.

And don't forget the manufacturer installed applications, they need bandwidth to do things you don't need to know about.
